Back to School, Southwest Florida! 🎒📚

A new school year is here!

Albert Matthews Law would like to wish all of the students, parents, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, and school staff throughout Lee County and Collier County a safe and successful start to the 2026–2027 school year.

Tuesday, August 11 is the first day of school for students in both Lee and Collier counties.

For families who are co-parenting, the beginning of the school year is also a good time to double-check the details that can easily get overlooked:

• Pickup and drop-off schedules
• Transportation arrangements
• After-school activities
• Teacher conferences and school events
• Holidays and school breaks
• Changes in routines between households

A little communication and planning can go a long way toward making the transition back to school easier for everyone—especially the kids.

From all of us at Albert Matthews Law, have a wonderful first week back! ✏️🍎

Back-to-School Reminder for Co-Parents 🎒📚

The start of a new school year can bring excitement, new routines—and sometimes a few disagreements between co-parents.

Before schedules become hectic, take a moment to review your parenting plan together. Make sure everyone is clear about:

• School-day pickup and drop-off
• After-school activities and transportation
• Homework and bedtime routines
• Access to school and medical information
• Teacher conferences, holidays and school breaks
• How unexpected schedule changes will be handled

Florida parenting plans address parental responsibilities and timesharing, with the child’s best interests as the primary consideration.

Clear communication now can prevent unnecessary stress later and help your child begin the school year feeling supported and secure.

When an existing parenting plan no longer works for your family, Albert Matthews Law can help you understand your options.

Child Custody vs. Timesharing: What Does Florida Actually Call It?

A lot of parents still use the term child custody, and honestly, that makes sense because it’s the phrase most people are familiar with.

In Florida, though, the courts usually talk about parental responsibility, parenting plans, and timesharing instead.

Parental responsibility is about who helps make important decisions for the child, such as healthcare, education, activities, and other major parts of their life.

Timesharing is the schedule that explains when the child will be with each parent. That can include regular weekdays, weekends, holidays, school breaks, vacations, transportation, and communication.

All of that is typically outlined in a parenting plan.

The goal is not just to divide time on a calendar. The goal is to create a plan that supports the child’s stability, routine, and best interests.

Every family is different, and these situations can quickly become emotional or confusing. Having a clear understanding of the terms and the process can make a big difference.

Albert Matthews Law is here to help parents understand their options and take the next step with greater confidence.

👨‍⚖️ What Is a Guardian ad Litem?

When a court case involves children, the judge’s highest priority is making decisions that are in the best interests of the child. In some situations, the court may appoint a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) to help provide additional information.

A Guardian ad Litem is an individual appointed by the court to represent the best interests of the child during legal proceedings. Their role is not to represent either parent, but to focus on the child’s well-being.

A Guardian ad Litem may:

✔️ Meet with the child and family members
✔️ Review important records and documents
✔️ Speak with teachers, counselors, or other individuals involved in the child’s life
✔️ Observe interactions when appropriate
✔️ Provide recommendations to the court regarding what they believe is in the child’s best interests

It’s important to understand that a Guardian ad Litem does not make the final decision. The judge considers the Guardian ad Litem’s findings along with all of the evidence before making a ruling.

If you’re involved in a family law case and have questions about the legal process, understanding the role of a Guardian ad Litem can help you feel more informed and prepared.

⚖️ What Is Probate… And Do You Need a Will to Avoid It?

Many people believe that having a will automatically avoids probate. The truth is, a will does not necessarily prevent probate.

A will is a legal document that tells the court how you want your assets distributed after your passing. In many cases, the will must still go through the probate process before those wishes can be carried out.

So, what is probate?

Probate is the legal process of administering a person’s estate after they pass away. Depending on the circumstances, it may involve:

✔️ Validating a will
✔️ Identifying assets
✔️ Paying debts and taxes
✔️ Distributing property to beneficiaries

If your goal is to minimize or avoid probate, there may be estate planning tools available—such as certain types of trusts, beneficiary designations, and other strategies—that could help, depending on your individual circumstances.

Every family and every estate is different, which is why having an estate plan tailored to your needs is so important.

If you have questions about wills, trusts, probate, or estate planning, we’re here to help.
